Chapter 79

• ISABELLA's POV.
• “Where have you been, Isabella?” Those were the first words that welcomed me as soon as I made my way through the gates. Lines of worry formed in my head, but I had my composure held together.
• “Oh, you are home.” I responded before shoving my way past him. With each step I took, my heart thudded in my chest, but I would be damned, if I so much as slipped at a moment like this, he just could not do as he deemed fit with me and come all around flashing fake smiles in my direction, thinking I was just going to let it slide all over me.
